Axarquia Animal Rescue News

We are Stella AAR 1879 & Dixie (white), AAR 1880.
We are females but can’t tell you too much about ourselves just yet as we are still very young.
We were found with our 5 siblings on Boxing Day in the bins.
We are about 4 weeks old and eating solids.
Happily we are now safe and being well cared for in a loving foster home but we would love to find our forever home in the New Year.
Please contact axarquia-rescue@hotmail.com if you want more information, or if you think you can give us the forever home we so deserve.

What’s on-Creative Circle (CC):This notice is to bring you the latest updates for our Chiki’s CC program and to communicate the following: 1) Wed. Jan 3: Invitation to our next CC. Please RSVP, unless you have already notified me. In which case, disregard. 2)Reminder: Chiki’s will be closed from Jan 8th to Feb. 12. 3) Future CCs: A number of you have contacted me about their enthusiastic response to our first gathering on 12/13/17. In addition, others have suggested additional programming beyond our regular monthly CC. I urge all of you to put your thinking caps on and come up with suggestions, no matter how wild they may appear. For example, Antonio has offered to start a monthly cooking class; some have expressed an interest in storytelling or starting an Intercambio language gathering. Others look forward to mini-workshops, etc… We even are planning an informal singing group; by informal I mean there will not be an admission test nor the prerequisite of reading music. So if you need to actívate your lungs (great oxygenation opportunity), stay tuned… 4) Spring: After Chiki returns to a normal Schedule, Antonio and I will focus on more specific programming to be conducted mostly on Wednesday… This doesn’t mean you are obliged to sign up or attend. We just want to inform you and ask you to come forth with specific suggestions to enrich the activities already mentioned. 5) So, enjoy a great week as the threshold of 2018 kisses goodbye to 2017!! We’ll see most of you on Wed. Jan. 3rd at 11 am!! Till then!! Nkk As always contact me at norma2kk@aol.com.

Wanted – Loan of a Guitar American Coffeehouse guitar jam staring on Torrox Costa beach boardwalk Hi everyone my name is Buzz and I’m from America. I am retired and I have been playing guitar (non professionally) for many years. Hopefully I can rent or borrow a guitar again this winter whilst in Spain. Anyway, I would like to start an occasional informal low key daytime guitar jam on Torrox Costa beach starting in January and going through April. I will be staying in Torrox Costa for three months I like to play, mostly acoustic folk music, Bob Dylan, Crosby Stills Nash, John Denver, Tom Paxton, the Beatles, Stones, Neil Young kind of stuff. If you would like to attend my low key guitar jam on Torrox Costa beach please let me know. It is completely voluntary and there is no commitment of time or money required; just a chance to bring musicians and lovers of acoustic music together who love “old time” acoustic music. If you play guitar please let me know.
If you would just like to come and listen in let me know. Basically if you play guitar I would ask that you play a few songs and the jammers may want to accompany along with you. I arrive in Torrox Costa January 15. I would like to start my jam the first week or so thereafter. So come and support my new “American Coffeehouse on the Beach” this winter in Torrox. ps: I did not vote for Trump

Services Available- DoctorLaptop-NerjaOpen Thru Holidays For Setups & Installs PLUS Some Tips on Setting Up Thru the holidays I am keeping my regular hours 1-7pm daily (by appointment only), 7 days a week, staying available to setup or install new tech-gifts for the lucky, impatient recipients. New computer and tablet setups are only €40 until 01JAN18. It is best to bring me the new unit still boxed and never started, as some initial settings are difficult to change after that 1st power-up. Please make appts by phone call only. No calls before 11am, evening calls ok, missed calls returned ASAP. TIPS:A Win 10 setup must be seen thru to the end as an interrupted initial setup can prevent it from starting again. The repair may require a fresh install of the entire system to undo the damage.After installing an antivirus program you must set it up (except BitDefender that sets up by itself). Go into the Scan Settings, find the Schedule Scan setting and select these 2 scans: Quick Scan-weekly and Full Scan-monthly. Most antivirus progs don’t auto-scan by default Antivirus programs can slow your computer. Avast Free Antivirus uses the least system resources so has the least impact on performance. It also ranks in top 10 in threat detection. Avast(USA) recently bought AVG(NL). Others, especially paid versions of Kapersky, Norton and McAfee, are designed for powerful business PCs, not your 4yr old Curry’s loss-leader. https://www.raymond.cc/blog/which-free-antivirus-is-the-lightest-on-system-memory-usage/1/

Proud new owners of Apple products must immediately setup their iCloud backups; for Macs the Time Machine backups are recommended in addition to iCloud. Many repairs on Apple/Macs require reinstalling the system, which deletes all data. Then you can recover the data after the reinstall from the backups. Welcome to the Apple Club, a 5yr lifecycle revolving around regular updates and backups. High end gear requires proper maintenance and will reward you with reliable high performance. If neglected, expect expensive repairs The new solid-state SDD hard drives in computers are fast, but if they crash no data is recoverable, as opposed to the standard mechanical hard drives where data is often recoverable from failed drives. Another reason to do backups.

Scoot needs a family.

He is 4 years old, castrated has his passport, chip and vaccinations. He’s a well behaved dog, obedient and loving. He is good with children. He has never shown aggression. He loves other dogs and likes to play. All that we ask is that who ever adopts him gives him plenty of love and looks after him well. Due to a change of work circumstances he is not getting the exercise a larger dog needs. He lives on a balcony most of the time so his owners have made the decision to look for a new home for him where he can have more freedom. Could you open your heart and let Scoot into your home? If you would like to meet Scoot you can email me at. jacquelinekayharrison@gmail.com or whatssapp me on 625319323

Long Term Rental Needed- We’ve put the following onto Facebook pages for accommodation etc from everywhere from Motril to Rincón and everywhere in between, but had no response. Can anyone help? We do have specific requirements. Our current rental contract ends in early March. After Christmas, we shall be looking for a new home to rent in order to move at the beginning of February/March. We shall be downsizing in terms of space and cost, so we’ll be looking for a 2-3 bedroom house (or 2 beds and study area), probably in the campo, with a good-sized fitted kitchen as we both enjoy cooking. A pool isn’t necessary, but a/c would be appreciated – if not fitted now, then at least to sitting room and master bedroom, by next June. A fenced garden is important as we have 2 medium-sized dogs. We’re very open to location, but having lived in Competa and negotiated the road frequently, we’re no longer interested in living there. *Maximum* budget is €600, and we’re looking for a really long term rental, so if you’re hoping to sell your house soon, it wouldn’t be suitable for us. Please contact me if you know of anywhere. Michael advertiser @ outlook . es (remove spaces)
